About the role

You will deliver palletised goods and parcels to shops, workshops and offices on fixed local routes around Cologne.

  • Load the truck in delivery order and check goods against the delivery list
  • Drive planned local routes and keep to agreed delivery times
  • Unload with a tail lift and hand pallet truck
